Boilers, heat pumps, hot water
Heating & Heat Pumps
The right heating decision depends on your walls, roof and windows, how much hot water you use, and what else you plan to do to the property. Sometimes the answer isn't a new boiler.

What this covers
Specified as part of your whole-home roadmap — never in isolation.
Boilers
When a boiler is genuinely the right answer, we say so — and we size and commission it properly. Where a replacement would be superseded within a few years, we set out the alternative sequence honestly.
Air-source heat pumps
Heat pumps work well when they are designed, not just fitted. That means checking how much heat each room loses, making sure the radiators are big enough, keeping the water temperature low and choosing the right hot-water cylinder. Put onto a system nobody has checked, they disappoint.
Hot-water systems
The type of cylinder, how quickly it reheats and how much it holds decide whether a system feels comfortable. This is the detail most often skipped.
Underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with a lower water temperature, whether in an extension, a renovation or a single room. We advise on where it is worth the cost and where radiators are the better answer.
Heating controls
Zoning, weather compensation and load compensation change comfort and running cost more than most equipment upgrades.
Radiators
Bigger radiators are what let a system run at a lower water temperature, which is exactly what a heat pump needs. Upgrading a few key radiators is often the cheapest step towards one.
Dependencies
Where this sits in the wider system.
One connected home
Solar, heating, cooling, plumbing, batteries and smart controls all affect each other. We plan them as one system.
